The
F27 and the DC-3 were both still owned by Ansett when operations
ceased on 14SEP01.

Aircraft
in service with ANSETT-ANA when the F27 VH-FNQ was delivered in
1966 were B727-77, DC-9, Electra, Viscount, F27, DC-6B, DC-4/Carvair
and DC-3 plus a few light aircraft. All of these were long out of
service when the airline ceased operations on 14SEP01.

Although
the F27 was operated under lease by several operators between 1989
and 2001, it was owned by Ansett for the entire period.

It
is arguably inappropriate to include the DC-3's ANA service prior
to the Ansett take-over on 21OCT57 but even if included, the F27
served longer.
